Ulster University: GAMSAT requirements
Ulster’s widely quoted 59 is an average of everyone it interviewed from 2020 to 2025 — not a cutoff — and Ulster accepts sittings up to four years old.
- —No overall minimum published
- 50Minimum in each section
- —No GPA minimum published
- UnstatedScoring method never stated
Every figure on this page is a number to compare yourself against, which is difficult to do without a score of your own. Our GAMSAT practice test is free, timed and marked section by section, so you can find out where you currently stand against Ulster’s requirements before you spend a cycle applying to it.
What is distinctive about Ulster
The 59 attached to Ulster in every league table and forum thread is a pooled average of interviewees across 2020–2025. Printed next to City St George’s 56 it implies Ulster is the harder school. It means nothing of the kind: one figure is the mean of a cohort, the other is the lowest score actually admitted. They are different measurements and they cannot be ranked against each other.
Ulster does not state which score it uses, weighted or unweighted, so its scoring method is recorded here as unverified.
Its most concrete advantage is the sitting window. Ulster accepts GAMSAT results back to March 2023 — four years, where the usual rule across the UK is two. If your score is ageing out everywhere else, it may still be live here. That is a named exception, and it is probably the most actionable fact on this page.
Entry is a 2:1 honours in any discipline, or a Master’s at 60% or above, with a section floor of 50. UCAS by 15 October.

How Ulster scores the GAMSAT
This institution never states which score it uses.
| Scoring method | Formula used | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Never stated by the institution | Not published | This institution does not state anywhere which GAMSAT score it uses — weighted or unweighted. We record that as unverified rather than assuming ACER’s default. |
Ulster does not publish how the GAMSAT is weighted against the rest of the application. Not published is the honest answer; we do not estimate it.
Every figure this institution publishes
Each figure carries the kind of number it is and the year it applies to. They are not interchangeable.
- 59Average of intervieweespooled 2020–2025
The mean score of those interviewed — not a threshold. Roughly half of those interviewed scored below it.
⚠️ This is an AVERAGE OF INTERVIEWEES, not a cutoff. Showing it beside a real cutoff would wrongly imply Ulster is harder than City St George's.

Common questions about Ulster
Does Ulster publish a GAMSAT cutoff?
No. Ulster publishes 59 (average of interviewees, pooled 2020–2025), which is a different kind of figure. Read it as context, not as a bar to clear.
What GAMSAT score do you need to apply to Ulster?
No minimum overall score is published, and at least 50 in each section. No GPA minimum is published. These are eligibility floors. Meeting them does not make you competitive.
Does Ulster use the weighted or unweighted GAMSAT score?
Never stated by the institution. This institution does not state anywhere which GAMSAT score it uses — weighted or unweighted. We record that as unverified rather than assuming ACER’s default.
Check your score against Ulster
Ulster never states which score it uses, so work out both. The calculator gives you the weighted and unweighted figures side by side.
